A procession under an open-sided metal-roofed pavilion. Two long golden horn-shaped trumpets curve upward at left and right, played by young boys in orange and white. Central figure in the foreground wears a red and white floral garland and orange clothing, holding a silver vessel with green leaves; behind him a figure in orange with a shaved head and rudraksha mala walks beside a long ceremonial pole with a multicolored tasseled canopy. Other devotees in orange and white follow, some carrying drums and a palanquin-like orange canopy. Red-and-white pillars and a sign with a crescent emblem frame the scene.
